Joey Marsh, one of our new Startworks artists has been busy working on this beautiful illustration for ‘The Campaign for Wool’, due to take place for a week commencing the 11^th October. Here is some more information on the campaign:
‘The initiative was launched by HRH Prince Charles earlier this year. The project aims to increase demand for British and Commonwealth wool, which has been declining recently in spite of its recognised qualities and characteristics.
‘The Campaign for Wool on Savile Row’ will see the world’s most prestigious tailoring location close to traffic for the day as Exmoor Horn sheep graze on specially laid turf.’

Liv Bargman has collaborated with Jess Wilson in a project called ‘Pencil Chit Chat’. The pair first met when illustrating the walls of Concrete Hermit in 2009 for the launch of Amelia’s Anthology of Illustration. Their mutual appreciation of each other’s work and in particular hand drawn typography inspired Jess with the idea to ask Liv to take part in ‘a continuous pencil chit chat’. They will once again be reunited by writing on the walls of the Front Room in Cambridge between the 16^th and 20^th August 2010, if you’re in the area pop along! You can also read an interview the pair did recently for Amelia’s magazine: http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/art/pencil-chit-chat-with-jess-wilson-and-liv-bargman/2010/08/06/

After pulling through a long, cold and snowy winter in Stockholm Dan Haskett has moved to Berlin for the warm summer evenings. While working on commissions he also plans to work on personal projects based on Berlin and the variety of street life that it offers as well as it’s vast history of the past century which is still evident around the city. Fortunately he is also in the good company of fellow Artworks illustrator, Heather Gatley, and if time permits, a bit of collaborative work could happen. Outside of working hours they will both be working hard on their table tennis skills on the many tables that Berlin’s parks have to offer.
